This. If I were Google and MS and Yahoo, etc. I'd just pull the plug on the .fr search page and put up a page that basically states "Due to general stupidity, we cannot be bothered to serve your country anymore. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you wish for service to be restored, please enlighten your politicians and the courts. Until then, best wishes, Google/Yahoo/MS/etc."

Making the search engines do the work would be like requiring checkpoints at every on/off ramp and intersection of every road, freeway, and highway to make sure no vehicle is transporting anything illegal, and threatening to shut the roads down if there is no compliance.

Go after the source, or fuck off. Stop making every step of the way play police officer.

She did a poor job of keeping her belongings and her informants protected/safe.
